Histoire administrative
Limerick County Club was formed on 27 March 1813 as a gentlemen’s social club for the benefit of the landed gentry, military officers, bankers, lawyers and other high-ranking professionals of Limerick city and county. The club premises were located in a town house on George’s Street (now O’Connell Street) and provided dining facilities, sleeping accommodation and spacious drawing rooms for meetings and social interaction. The building remained in use by the club until 1897, when it was leased to the Augustinian order, whose church adjoined the club house.

Portée et contenu
Small hardback notebook in full calf binding, with tooled gilt morocco leather label on front cover embossed ‘Members of the Limerick Club’ in gold on the front cover. The book contains a list of some 700 names of club members, grouped in rough alphabetical order by surname initial. An alphabetical index at the beginning of the book gives the page numbers on which corresponding names can be found. Information relating to each member is limited to their surname and first name, except for military officers whose rank and regiment are included, usually at the expense of their first name. Many of the names have been crossed out, presumably indicating members who had died or left the club. Some of these have been crossed out with such a heavy hand as to render them illegible.
